Question

A long, straight wire lies on a horizontal table in the xy-plane and carries a current of 1.40 µA in the positive x-direction along the x-axis. A proton is traveling in the negative
x-direction at speed 2.60 x 10“ m/s a distance d above the wire (i.e. z = d).
(a) What is the direction of the magnetic field of the wire at the position of the proton?
---Select--- v direction
(b) What is the direction of the magnetic force acting on the proton?
---Select--- v direction
(c) Explain why the direction of the proton's motion doesn't change.
This answer has not been graded yet.
(d) Using Newton's second law, find a symbolic expression for d in terms of the acceleration of gravity g, the proton mass m, its speed v, charge q, and the current I.
(Use any variable or symbol stated above along with the following as necessary: u, and A. Do not substitute numerical values; use variables only.)

Expert Solution

Step 1 :Introduction

Since you have posted a question with multiple subparts we will solve the first three subparts for you. To get the remaining subparts solved please resubmit the complete question and mention the subparts to be solved.

According to the right hand rule , while stretching the thumb, pointing finger and middle finger in perpendicular directions, the thumb will represent the direction of magnetic force, the pointing finger will represent the direction of current flow and the middle finger will represent the direction of magnetic field .
